The North Coast Rape Crisis Team is proud to serve Humboldt and Del Norte Counties. In addition to the direct support we offer survivors, such as our 24 hour crisis lines, peer counseling services, accompaniment, and advocacy, we are also able to provide educational services to our community. As a non-profit, we rely on donations from community members in order to best support and expand our programs. When you donate to the North Coast Rape Crisis Team, you are supporting our mission!
NCRCT Needs Your Support!
We are at risk of losing our funding due to state and federal budgetary cuts. We are initiating a call to action in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties. Our legislators need to hear from our community RIGHT NOW! Please email and/or call our representatives below. We have provided a script below to make it easier for you to make all of the difference in your community for survivors. We cannot continue our services without your help. The Lost Coast is very powerful when we all come together for a cause.

Script:
Dear (Title/Name),
My name is ____, I live in (City, State); I am one of your constituents. I am calling/writing as
an ally and supporter of the North Coast Rape Crisis Team to express my concern and
dismay over the cuts to the Victims of Crime Act (VOCA) funding. Survivors of sexualized
violence deserve their legal rights to be maintained and supported through their services; it
is unacceptable that funding for this organization is at risk. They provide life-saving and
supportive services to survivors in Humboldt and Del Norte Counties in the immediate wake
of the most traumatic and difficult moments of their lives. I urge you to do everything in your
power to fill the gap in core, necessary funding that victim service providers rely on and
allow the North Coast Rape Crisis Team to continue providing essential and crucial services.
